  2. Colored Lights Step 2 Attach a binder clip to the base of each bulb and remove the silver handles by pinching the sides together and sliding them out of their grooves.

  3. Colored Lights Step 3 For individual ornaments, thread a 10-inch length of black cording through the clip and tie a double knot just above it. Then knot the ends to create a loop for hanging. For a string of lights, use a long piece of cording and tie on one bulb at a time.
